Managing the Busy Days
Maybe because a busy fall approaches, two things struck me when I recently read a profile of Atul Gawande -- full-time surgeon, prolific writer, father of three.
First, he "saves his writing" for the hours between 7 and 11am and 4 and 7 pm to "capitalize on the body's circadian rhythms." Hmmm.

Second, I wonder if the punchline was the parenthetical revealing that his wife is "now a full-time mom." Maybe it's time to reread the essay "I Want a Wife."

This makes me wish I'd seen the play "I Am My Own Wife."
